Also saw some females that were 18 pounds I think, and they weren't fat either; they were huge compared to the other females I've seen.

brims you have cheered me up no end, my debate with Sarah is being held up with news of all these MC's over the 'average' weight!!! lol And OMG 22 lbs at 9 months that is a big cat ! I hope your impending motherhood with two MC kittens happens soon, fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for posting brims its good to know all about those MC's out there that are thriving, fit and healthy at higher weights and look forward to seeing pictures of your babies when you get them.

Donna thank you for posting a picture of Buster, he is just simply gorgeous, I am so sorry for your loss and I am going to say something that I usually hate people saying to me when I lose a treasured friend, he was a good age wasn't he 18 years old, and 18 years of wonderful memories xx

ChrisX,
I cried a bit when he passed, but I had known in my heart he had a great long life, he was never cold, hungry or scared. I buried him in the backyard in a sunny spot where the birdies play. He was loved and cherished his entire life. I wish we could say that say for all. I know somewhere he is waiting for me, to rub his tummy and give him cuddles.

I am sure Donna that he was a very happy cat knowing he was loved and cared for all his life and that is something you should be proud of and I agree you will meet again and his cuddles will be felt again x

Loving hearing more about all your MC's.

Thx Chris! Dakota was 19 lbs last time I weighed him, and he is now 6 years old. He really is a wiggle-worm, so we don't weigh him very often - though he seems to be filling out more now. Maybe we'll weigh him this week-end and post the results. As for length, I don't think we will EVER get that number

The loss of Stewie was devastating to his owner, but she continues on with his legacy and is active with the local humane/cat rescue groups!
